Rating it a two. lol<br /> If you don't like how they do it, but still call it your guilty pleasure. Okay? Why can we only like other peoples comments, and not dislike them. <br /> I'm not a tech geek, I'm in it for the relationships. Happy and Toby, just waiting for something to happen again.

Seems like you don't know the meaning of "guilty pleasure". There's pleasure in all kinds of things, for all kinds of reasons, you should know, after watching Sam &amp; Cat 1x20 or Date Movie. :D<br /> My pleasure is laughing at the ridiculousness of the hilariously stupid plots they sell to their audience and how low they can stoop it next time and how it is accepted, even though it shouldn't be my pleasure, hence "guilty". That doesn't make this show any good whatsoever, because it isn't. It is terrible. It's the typical "car accident you can't look away from"-thing for me.<br /> The only good thing I can see is that they try to bring the brainless cinema action flick timewaster to television and they do succeed here greatly and negative "press" is still press. But again, doesn't make this show any good.<br /> You are apparently in for the awkward and terrible relationship drama this show is actually not about in the first place.<br /> So, why shouldn't I rate it a 2? The rating system goes from 1-10, not 5-10 and I use it as such because I don't think a 5 or 6 automatically means bad like the majority these days does. ;)<br /> Just because you obviously take offense in how I rate doesn't make you superior to decide what I can and cannot rate it and how to think of this show. If you wanna rate it higher like 2x06, where we couldn't be further away in opinion, there's nothing I care to do against it. So do yourself a favor and come off your high horse and let people raise their own opinions, instead of critizing them in your own comments of shows / movies. ;)

@ds1<br /> I'm with u in this latest comment. Good explaination of what matters about a quality of a show, also about the rating system. Someone's even only have 7-10 ratings. So I don't wonder that most shows/episodes are 70%++, even 80%++, no matter how good, bad, boring or terrible these shows really are - objektive+subjektive.<br /> Some people have fear by voting sth low. Sometimes I think "What, people like that shit??? Half of my watched stuff is better! Is this the only show they know?" U don't need to be a tech geek to dislike the show, there is noch tech geek stuff in scorpion! Scorpion is just a bad show in all aspects.<br /> <br /> But it's all the same with the same bad and boring stuff again and again. Mainstream is casual, brings more viewers, buyers, more money. The same in movies, series, games - it's no art anymore, it's a money orientated industry. (e.g. games: it's all about selling graphics, with the same stupid and boring gameplay over and over again.) Most people don't know it better, are brainwashed, they only know stuff from the mainstream, big companies with big marketing. On this thinking and on this way the better stuff they will never know - never. They are controlled, and not even realizing it. They will never experience "Why i liked these shows, there is so much better stuff out there."<br /> I mean, she looks cute, and like every woman likes the relationship drama in series/movies more than a guy, that's normal. But even "the simpsons" has better relationship elements than "scorpion". Imo i dont watch a terrible show just because i like an actor/actress. There are so much better shows out there to spend my time on. Even for Emelia's genre favours time is spend better on better shows, and there are alot.<br /> <br /> Dein letzter Satz war ihr gegenüber jedoch etwas zu harsch. Sie ist noch jung und muss noch viel lernen.

Fear is most likely a factor of rating rather higher than lower in public. You've always have to consider the lower you rate the higher the probability of someone bitching about your rating, or you having to explain in detail why you rate that low. Even though it's your own rating based on your opinion and not an attempt at dictating how others have to rate it as well. Something many people seem to think when they see a rating they do not agree with.<br /> While for higher ratings basically no-one questions your rating, maybe laughs in secret at you but that's that. I think that is very odd in human behaviour.<br /> But at the other hand, many people - if not all - are too lazy to be bothered searching for the "good" stuff and take in whatever is thrown at them and build their knowledge around that, in other words: the best advertised. At some things I am no exception there either and aren't one to blame anyone for it. But I'd argue that adds to higher ratings in general, too and overlooking gems like [Forever](https://trakt.tv/shows/forever-2014), or [iZombie](https://trakt.tv/shows/izombie). Or simply replacing something not outstanding but not bad like [Almost Human](https://trakt.tv/shows/almost-human) with something lackluster like [Minority Report](https://trakt.tv/shows/minority-report) because the *name* sells better.<br /> <br /> Den letzten Satz habe ich hinterher wohlüberlegt reineditiert als ich ihre anderen Kommentare gelesen habe, die vor passiv-aggressivität, Heuchelei und herablassender Arroganz nur so strotzen. Mir ist der harsche Ton da bewusst, aber es ist sehr schwierig nicht so harsch aber doch deutlich zu sein. ;) Aber ich gebe dir Recht, sie muss noch viel lernen, den Eindruck erweckt sie auch bei mir.

This show is like a modern day Macguyver without any of the charisma. It's good background noise and there are always laughs at how absurd the plot gets. I don't think it takes itself very seriously and it's not boring, so it's on my watchlist.

@ds1 hahhhaaaha Perhaps they talk in the serial about science a lot and you do not understand the true production budget is weak but a fun and wonderful series and personalities led the role is about scientists do not deal with the community and a lot of humanity

@zahraa55555 Don't I say that the show supposedly must have really low production costs? But that's no excuse for a terrible show. But yeah, they do succeed to get views with very low effort that way. Soo, good for them, right?<br /> Although, after 4 seasons there were some higher budget episodes in this due to the money they were able to cash in.<br /> For the other stuff, I am not sure what you're trying to say.

@yancycollins great review. I agree about the dynamic of Paige's &amp; Walter's relationship.

Wow. George Orwell would have a field day having you around I'm sure: I have never read such a complicit, "I will obey and suspend my entire thought process", review, as yours. I'm glad YOU enjoy it, but, it makes no sense to try and demand other people should do the same.<br /> <br /> You might be able to switch off your beliefs, suspend your criticism and you might not find stupid plots, strange character behaviour, and impossible stories annoying. But many people, including me, do. In fact, it's insulting the viewer's intelligence, and if that's not bad enough already, here comes mr. or mrs. Gladly Obey, telling us to shut up.<br /> <br /> Astounding to say the least, and your review is the most insulting review I have read on Trakt so far, so, at least you have that going for you. In light of that, it's typical how you start your comment by saying "I respect other people's opinions" because, obviously, you don't.

Sadly, replies can't be liked on trakt, I'd really want to like drumnugget's reply. :'(<br /> <br /> Someone got the definition and meaning of suspension of disbelief very wrong.<br /> It doesn't apply on plots that make no sense, by the way. With or without suspension of disbelief such plots still make no sense.<br /> With the presented logic you could dismiss every valid criticism towards any show no matter how bad it is. Resulting in no improvments ever.<br /> However, plots really have to make sense, even in fiction, at least in the presented universe.<br /> <br /> To be honest, your post comes off as very shortsighted, ignorant and condescending.
